An out-of-work method actor is hired by a male model, an ecdysiast, and a car salesman who live together to save money. They want the actor to listen to their problems and go see a psychiatrist, so they can get counseling for cheap. The psychiatrist is intrigued by the split personalities indicated by the three separate sets of problems presented by the actor, and soon producers are climbing out of the woodwork trying to buy the rights to the film, while the actor is having trouble keeping his act together.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic premise on an absurd situation, relying entirely on the lead actor's ability to portray three distinct personalities. It explores the escalating chaos as producers swarm and the actor's own sanity begins to fray under the pressure of the performance.

What lingers after the final reel is the charm of a classic farce, where the pursuit of fame and a cheap therapy session collide in a whirlwind of mistaken identity and opportunistic Hollywood types. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Tommy Noonan

Perfect for a lazy afternoon, paired with a light snack and a sense of nostalgia for sixties screwball humor.
